One really important tip that's quite often forgotten when teaching git is: if you're worried what will happen, commit all your outstanding work, create a temporary branch and try it out.
>Bottom line is that companies should assume that the government has a right to audit their practices at any time for any reason, and avoid intentionally destroying potentially valuable information.

No. When a company reasonably anticipates litigation, which is more than just knowing litigation is possible, that's when they need to avoid destroying information relating to the litigation.

Examples of situations that fit are:
1. when they know a suit has been filed
2. when the company is contemplating litigation - i.e. when they have asked for a legal opinion, started doing some groundwork, looked into feasibility of suit etc.
> Yes, you can have privilege-based security without user accounts, if you accept that you do not have control over your own hardware because only the OS vendor has administrative rights.

Or maybe just that the really in-depth administration and modification of your operating system happens prior to the OS running on your device, when it's being built — as a sort of configuration or specification step that happens prior to even installing the operating system or booting up your computer in the the first place, in a continuous integration system in the cloud perhaps, or on another existing computer? That's kind of how Fedora Silverblue works — almost everything you do is completely in unprivileged space, in a container or with a flatpak sandbox, or through policykit; you basically never use the root account at all, because you can't really do a whole lot of really in-depth customization of your OS internals on the operating system image that's actually installed and running on your system. Instead, you specify the modifications you want to make to an upstream image using something like BlueBuild[1] and then those modifications are automated and happen prior to anything ever hitting your computer in an automated ci/cd system (which could theoretically be self-hosted).

Like, I think there is a way to adapt the security and reliability benefits of the way e.g. macOS works that doesn't take control away from the user, just moves it somewhere else. And I think it's much safer for all of the really deep modification of your system, all of the system administration you do as the root user, to be essentially air gapped from the computer that you're actually running various applications and installing and building things and curling to bash on, on a system that's ostensibly clean.

Well, yes, but electric motors and drive circuitry are particularly nasty emi sources. One poor-man's susceptibility test is to run a handheld drill motor as close to your circuit board as possible. In an EV, you're driving around inside one.

> It bears mentioning that a monopoly in and by itself is actually fine. If you provide a product or service so legitimately good that noone else can compete with you, that's fine.

This is a more modern interpretation of anti-trust. And IMO a shit one, because the monopolist can never be seriously challenged by competitors. It's a sign of a broken and unhealthy market. Even if the monopolist completed fairly to ascend, once they are effectively the only choice then the product or service will eventually degrade. How will consumers even know there could be alternatives if the competition is bullied, bought, or intimidated out of the market?

Consumers need choice to have power.

Can I write a vcpkg.json that just refers to a git repository, tgz download link or similar decentralized identifier? (eg can I also use deps that have no special vcpkg support?)
I mean the data people send through the app. You say:

> It is a p2p files and messages sharing platform without involvement of any server. It has end-to-end encryption, ensuring your messages and files remain confidential.

However the clients get the JS code from the web server. Since you control that server, you can change the code to disable the encryption, or send a copy of the messages somewhere else. You can even make the server give specific people / IPs one copy of the code and others a different copy.

Hence my point is there is a trusted centralized server involved.
> DEI is meant to be a counter to this.

If DEI was about removing barriers due to racial (both conscious and unconscious) biases, then it wouldn't be so controversial. For example, symphonies auditioning candidates behind a screen so they hiring people are only presented with the sound of their playing. But DEI is the opposite of that. It's about very explicitly identifying race/gender/etc up front and then using that as the primary basis for hiring decisions. Disqualifying someone because of their race is not only allowed but required by DEI policies.

Maybe not multi-gigabyte, but in a new system/phone in a year, you're basically guaranteed to find at least one tiny model. We may even get some "standard" model everyone can reliably use as a reference.
Pretty much. _Language_ is how we propagate meaning.

Words are units of language, that can be used to build larger composite language constructs.
(And words, _when written_, are themselves built from smaller syntactic units, letters, at least in non-idiographic writing. But words exist independent of writing, writing is just one way to represent words and language.)

And as with everything human, context is important. The same word can have different uses, and the receiver depends on context to determine which meaning the word should carry.
That context can come from the grammar (is it a noun or a verb?), pronunciation (it's really a different word then, it just happens to be spelled the same), and general social context (where are we, and what are we talking about?)

It's all pragmatic. It's what we have made to work. Building larger things from smaller things is how we've made language scale to thousands of words, millions of books, which can all still be read my most people. (And maybe understood.)

The article seems to be about a discussion that is really about proper names. That's a more philosophical discussion because it touches on "identity", what it means to be "the same".

But even names are usually just context dependent designators for an entity that all the participants already (are expected to) agree on what is. That's why using a name is enough to designate it.

Language isn't deep. If it was, it wouldn't work.
Anything that two people can agree on, can be used to transfer meaning.

Laravel is how you learn web development with PHP. It's the Django equivalent.

You wrote something about how "people" do web development in Python, I don't see the relevance to your decrepit comparison.

Everyone that starts building computer network services is dangerous for about 5-10 years regardless of what tutorial material they initially come across. If not longer, since it takes a long time to internalise the protocols, client platforms, server platforms, relevant network layers, common threat vectors, and so on.
Same, and even in the ones that have interview. I would guess outside very bad language skills it might even give boost...
> ^ surprised by this line. guess it also impacts lib32 packages on amd64

The reason for this is that in Debian, package name and ABI are coupled, as that allows you to coinstall multiple versions of libraries with different ABIs. This transition changes the ABI on 32-bit architectures, so the package name of impacted packages also has to change (they get a "t64" suffix). While it's technically possible to have different package names on different architectures, that's a PITA to deal with, so they opted to also change the package names on 64-bit architectures, where it's not strictly required.

Throughout the vast majority of human history the levers to influence collective behavior have been not been through government intervention, they’ve been through familial, religious, and small community based norms and pressures. One of the common conservative perspectives which follows this is that in the past most groups of people have found success not by direct government intervention, but by unity and collective action within that community. I’m surprised you’d disagree, but I think it’s very possible for human behavior to adapt and evolve without the government being the one pulling all the levers.
My intuition is that the problem is in using squares for the error. The volume of space available for a given distance of error in 3-space is O(N^3) the magnitude of the error, so an error term of O(N^2) doesn't grow fast enough compared to the volume that can contain that magnitude of error.

But I really don't know, it's just an intuition with no formalism behind it.
>Not my problem, you can't just come to Walgreens "I'm poor please give me stuff for free BTW nice cart can I take it"

Two things:

1 - Alas, yes it is your problem. You can't squeeze blood from a rock. You have two options. A - evict them or whatever or B - be compassionate and help to get them back on their feet. If you add up the costs to you for each I'm confident you will find that kindness is more profitable. I encourage you to do the math for yourself, you may be leaving money on the table.

2 - They do give away free food, medical supplies and even toys at Walgreens. I see people using their EBT card, donating to the toy drives and food banks there daily. Local stores are a key part of our system to collect and distribute resources to the under nourished and under privileged.

Not all handouts are theft. You seem to automatically equate handouts to theft. Perhaps do some self work to see where this connection started.

I'll sum it up for you:
You could be even richer if you were kinder. If you do so, you'll find other forms of richness as well (not just financial).

I still haven't forgotten the time that Sony deliberately and secretly infected millions of computers with a rootkit in order to enforce DRM that also introduced exploitable security vulnerabilities, and then lied about it, and then after the backlash shipped an "uninstaller" that just hid the rootkit better and introduced more exploitable security vulnerabilities.

So this wasn't a natural monopoly because the high cost of entry isn't the sole or even arguably primary barrier to competition, and that's not the issue.

>Your math is probably wrong because customer acquisition and retention is hard. At $5, you have to find 200 customers to make $1000. And you have to keep them happy.

Agree - unless you are Walmart or Amazon (or local equivalent) ... you can NOT compete on price

Walmart does not have to "care" much about its millions of customers - where else are you going to buy Mac-N-Cheese? If Walmart loses a customer, they do not care ... nor do they care if they get another customer: because their sales model is very simple: be the "cheapest" option for XYZ there is ... and even if they are not the "cheapest" for one item, they are for the other 92 things in your basket - so you are going to check out anyway
I've also taught git to dozens of beginners in a classroom setting, and I have to agree that the OP and GP articles aren't great for beginners, even if they have a technical background. The problem I have with git media is that everybody begins by teaching git's user interface, which is a usability disaster. On the other hand, the internals of git are elegant and simple, and if you start by teaching from the inside out, it makes it far easier to understand why and when we use certain commands.

The video you mentioned, "Git For Ages 4 And Up" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m7BgIvC-uQ, is the best resource for explaining how it works internally, once they have a rudimentary understanding of what git is and why we use it. Watching this video makes future explanations way more digestible. I still sometimes conceptualize difficult git operations in tinker toys.

I highly recommend it even to experienced people.
In interested in learning why say, a device would be much more expensive if we use 1GiB of DRAM chips instead of 32MB. The chips themselves have the same physical footprint, power requirements, and as long as you pick one that is compatible with your µC or SoC you don't need to change that either. That leaves the cost of the chip, where you might need to spend a few cents more. I'm pretty sure the consumer doesn't care if the widget costs $21.55 or $21.59. The same would apply to NAND flash storage.

I do get that if you have to produce millions of widgets that a few cents here and there might add up, but if you just exchange one part for a physically similar but higher capacity part, and the list price difference is really small, why would that be such a hurdle? I'm not talking about redesigning all the power supplies, adding a PMIC or building an entire computer, but even in the WRT54G days you could just solder replacement DRAM and NOR chips and be done for a few cents for a 500% increase in capacity. In later models you could still do that but the NOR became NAND and BGAs are harder, but it's still pretty easy and cost-effective.

In the EE world, designing for manufacture does try to squeeze every fraction of a cent out of everything, while in the software world using 10MB of RAM instead of 1MB is fine as long as you decode your PNGs correctly (via an earlier libpng reference implementation comment a few days ago). Even at volume, I doubt that saving a tenth of a cent really matters until you hit some extreme production numbers. (even 10 million units would at best save you $10k)

Mechanically there would be something to consider, i.e. connectors vs screws vs solder vs glue etc, those all have a direct impact on how reliable a connection is, how long it will last, and how easy it is to manufacture (and how easy it is to take apart later). But fractions of a cent when compared to all the other aspects?
NWR depends on thousands of transmitters providing spotty coverage for most of the landmass of the USA. There are large unserved areas, but few people live in those areas.

The main problem is that this requires that thousands of radio stations continue to operate, where a single AM station can provide service to multiple metro regions and in many cases cover an entire state.

It would be even better if car radios were required to include shortwave / SSB receivers, but there is little mechanism to support the economic ecosystem that would keep those stations viable, and the radios are necessarily more expensive. The long range of shortwave would also open up US listening populations to potential foreign adversaries.

AM is a good compromise. AM recovers are cheap and simple, transmitters can be made using 1920s tech, and A single AM broadcast station can have ranges of nearly 1000 miles, sometimes more.

In January they laid off 28% (21 employees) which meant they had 54 left after the January layoff round.

Last week they laid off ~43 (as per the laid-off employee’s blog post above).

Does that mean they now have only 9 employees left? Did I do the maths right?

Update: my bad. The last layoff around was January 2023. It has been 1 year 4 months since.

There is no perfect analogy anywhere, of course, each analogy is flawed in one or another way.

But I don't think we should separate politics, social dynamics and tech. Because everything (unfortunately for us, techno geeks) is politics, as everything is done by people and politics is relationship between groups of people.

Your last sentence is perfectly applicable to politics too: it is way easier to be adult in totalitarian society, if your will to align yourself with "main party line", than in democratic society. You need to make much less choices yourself. But if you cannot align to this line, your life becomes miserable.

I think, that any monoculture is limited and bad. In tech too.
I read the article and I can’t understand at a simple level why it’s hard to contribute. Is it easy to break things? Is it hard to determine if something is broken ? If so, maybe it just wasn’t really designed with those items in mind, or maybe there just isn’t adequate testing.

Adding on a new feature that is hard to understand is maybe a signal that the design does not support it.

There are at least two dimensions to this that I believe that the author has overlooked:

1. Economies of scale. It may be that drafting something up in CAD takes more cycles to get right up front, but once you have an established design it is much easier to reproduce it by orders of magnitude

2. Changes in software. Software companies are ever changing their interfaces, decreasing productivity every time their users encounter this learning curve.
The way to fairly attempt ending a monopoly is not by quelling the power of the monopoly but by removing hurdles for new businesses to start. Then again a monopoly is not always bad if they provide the best product/service.

Every time I try to fully migrate from submodules I hit the following roadblocks:

- vcpkg: dependencies that have custom patches only relevant for my software or where maintainers apply patches once every six months, dependencies where the author doesn't do versioning and the correct version to use is git HEAD

- vcpkg: not sure how I can pass specific flags to dependencies. For instance I need to build LLVM with specific CMake flags.

- CMake FetchContent : how do you handle dependencies that are other repos from your organization which may definitely get patches as part of the development of the software? With FetchContent all those go into build directories and aren't treated as source, I would like to be able to tell CMake "for this build, use source folder /foo for dependency "foo" instead of cloning its 300MB repo again

- How do you handle dependencies that takes ages to build. My software uses Qt, llvm, libclang, ffmpeg and a fair amount of other things. When I tried with vcpkg, the experience building for a new contributor took something like three hours on an average laptop and required dozens of gigabytes of space (software build itself is ~5 minutes with the current precompiled SDK I ship). The space thing is critical, I often get students, interns, OSS contributors etc which definitely cannot afford 30GB of free space on cheap laptops with 256G SSDs
